heart rate zone for your fitness objectives.

If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the

calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health

centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate.

The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.

About Heart Rate Zones

Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase

their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A

heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five

commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5

according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are

calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.

Setting Your Heart Rate Zones

The device uses your user profile information from the initial

setup to determine your default heart rate zones. The device

has separate heart rate zones for running, cycling, and

swimming. For the most accurate calorie data during your

activity, set your maximum heart rate. You can also set each

heart rate zone and enter your resting heart rate manually. You

can manually adjust your zones on the device or using your

Garmin Connect account.

many years (with the exception of minor injuries) and has a

resting heart rate of 60 beats per minute (bpm) or less.

Setting Your Power Zones

The values for the zones are default values and may not match

your personal abilities. If you know your functional threshold

power (FTP) value, you can enter it and allow the software to

calculate your power zones automatically. You can manually

adjust your zones on the device or using your Garmin Connect

account.

Activity Tracking

Turning On Activity Tracking

The activity tracking feature records your daily step count,

distance traveled, intensity minutes, floors climbed, calories

burned, and sleep statistics for each recorded day. Your calories

burned includes your base metabolism plus activity calories.

Activity tracking can be enabled during the initial device setup,

or at any time.

NOTE: Turning on activity tracking can decrease the battery life

between charges.

Hold UP.

Select Settings > Activity Tracking > Status > On.

Your step count does not appear until the device locates

satellites and sets the time automatically. The device may

need a clear view of the sky to locate satellite signals.

The number of steps taken during the day appears on an activity

tracking widget. The step count is updated periodically.
